Malls Thread

I agree on Denny's.

PF Chang didn't last as well.

I remember the PF Chang in ATC.

Wifey and I dined in when it was newly opened and there were staff from their CA restaurant who trained them for a few weeks.

We were secretly smiling when the local staff was showing us how to mix the "secret sauce".... We politely told her that we're quite familiar with it...

mukang in danger na ang Halal Guys, the Ayala 30th branch na hinde pang food court, full dine in eh nagsara na ngaun lang.

and I thought since sumiskat ang Halal food, frontrunner ang Halal Guys. sobrang mahal naman kasi eh, 300 for a meal tapos fastfood style lang

[kagalingan]

so yung alam mo lang ang tama?

Are you sure about Balikbayans? I have balikbayan relatives and friends who visit yearly and none of them go to MOA . MOA is in Pasay and it's a major pain to go to Pasay. What's there to see in MOA? Most new and nice restaurants and shopping areas are in Makati, BGC, Greenhills and Tagaytay.

cathy maraming tao dumadayo pa talaga ng moa; lalo na either may driver or mag commute lang. taga cavite mostly kilala kong pumupunta doon, mga sosyal at pa sosyal na kilala ko lang ang ayaw sa moa. ako social climber kaya ayaw ko sa moa lol
seriously, kung ako mag drive at dadayo lang din ako, dun nalang ako sa malls sa paranaque or alabang. madalas megamall lang ako unless may mag yaya, kasi halos lahat andun na eh

Manila seedling belongs to QC local government. Vertis is on NHA land.

Denny's belongs to Bistro group of italiiannis. PF Chang and IHOP belong to Global Restaurants of CPK. Belongs to one family but are rivals between father and son.

ok lang yan kung malamig ang panahon.. pero kung tanghaling na sikat na sikat ang araw.. parusa..

Tsaka pag umuulan, sa BGC sarap sana sa High street kaya lang pag mainit or maulan you will prefer to go to indoor malls instead, Aura or Uptown. Tsaka pag meron ka rin bibilhin mas convenient pa rin sa Aura or Uptown.
Sa dami ng mga malls, kaya hirap na mga tenants nila. Parepareho lang naman bakit ka pa lalayo. If your near bgc, di ka na dadayo sa Estancia or Megamall, Traffic ang isa sa reason kaya ayaw na rin namin lumayo.

Sa Japan yung mga Outlet malls nila like Mitsui outlet park and Gotemba mall, dun masarap kasi malamig.

Foot traffic ba kamo?

Tantya ko lang ha? Fax per sqm:

SM North and Trinoma - 9 - kapag napupunta kami rito,- nahahasap ako sa dami ng tao....
MoA - 7
ATC - 4

Exactly! Tenants are all the same across major malls so no reason to go very far. And with the current traffic who wants stress....

Mahina na din CPK. Sarado na yung Greenbelt 5 its ass being kicked by neighboring Chilis hahahahaha....

Speaking of malls with slow pickup and shops closing, UP Town Center comes into mind.

Medyo bago bago pa sya pero dami ng restaurants nag sara especially those mga nauna facing Katipunan. Shrimp Bucket na lang natira among sa original na nag bukas. IHOP sarado na din. Daming restos sa iba't ibang floors nagsara. The old department store there yung Wellworth isang taon lang sarado agad pinalitan na ng Metro. I doubt Metro is doing well too. Aeopostale sarado na din.

Mali lang ata target market. Puro studyante e wala naman per yan gagawin ka lang tambayan. Malakas syempre mga Starbucks at mga mas mura na food and fast foods.

UP Town is really a weekend mall. Mahina pag weekday talaga and i agree na nawala sa human traffic flow yung restos sa front (mainit, maingay and it's just out of the way). In essence, the mall itself has a terrible layout which allows a lot of areas to be void of walking traffic.

Project Pie just closed its branch in SM Southmall. When we went to their branch in Alabang/Filinvest, the staff said that their branch was the only remaining one. I hope they don't close that as well.

[boybi]

Mga SM malls hindi friendly for senior citizens. Walang seating areas. Gusto nila Henry Sy lakad ng lakad mga patrons para mapagod at kumain, or para makita mga stores.

I never go to MOA unless necessary. Sobrang init even in the airconditioned part of the mall.
